A few days after the closing of the procurement procedure for the study of the feasibility of the Durrës-Prishtina railway line, complaints have also started. The complaint of one of the participating operators who seem to have disagreed with the assessment made on this procedure has been filed with the Public Procurement Commission. The appeal is based on the contracting authority in this case, the Albanian Railway, but the supporting documentation of the economic operator has not yet been uploaded to the KPP website.

In an appearance a few days ago, the Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku, said that the tendering process had already been closed and that it would be moved to another stage. The procurement procedure that had as object "Feasibility study and project-idea for the Durrës-Prishtina railway connection" was opened in the system of the Public Procurement Agency in mid-October with a limit fund of 200 million ALL or about 1.7 million euros.

"The construction of the railway line (Durres - Pristina) is of special importance for Albania and Kosovo as it will enable a rapid development of the railway transport of passengers and goods. This new railway line will first meet the transport needs of Albania and Kosovo, as well as the needs of the countries of the Western Balkans and beyond, including Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria and other countries that are also connected to Rail Corridor X (ten) and Rail Corridor IV (four)," the terms of reference for the announced procedure said.

The same document also gives three reasons why this line is of special importance.

"The first is that through this railway line the exchange of goods transport between Albania, Kosovo and the wider region will increase significantly due to lower costs and greater capacities; the second is related to the development of passenger rail transport which will be very attractive and beneficial for both countries and beyond; while the third is that this railway line offers the best and most favorable alternative for the shortest connection of the railway network of Albania, namely the VIII railway corridor (eight) with the X railway corridor (ten)", the document states.

The expected duration of the study after signing the contract with a winning operator is 14 months, of which 2 (two) months for the Initial Phase and 12 (twelve) months for the preparation of the Study./Monitor
